An invitation to the voyage …

I was only 16 when I made my first journey, alone, on a train connecting the North of Italy to join the south of the country.

My first feeling was to reach for the freedom, that one to taste the experience of life, which I knew then so little of.

To encounter the unknown was part of my nature, and from then on, the journey anchored in my lifestyle, comparable to a call of the sea, with the same mantra ‘leave, to return better’.

But my first escape, is that of the mind. The one that we know through the look, where every emotion returns us to an intimate journey, mixing in evanescent images, our real-life experience in the perception of the present moment.

In a dreamlike vision, the emotion submerges and transposes through the lens.
The moment crystallizes, the memory congeals, to immortalize in photography, the perception of the short-lived.

Through portraits, where folklore and traditions transport us in cultural diversities, or shots, of urban or landscapes, every cliché becomes then an invitation to the voyage.

Without barrier of borders, nor language, the mind wanders in each photo story, giving free rein to the imagination.
